whenever we talk abt top JCs,
HCI, RJ, NJ, TJ and VJ
are the top 5 JCs which come to our minds...
Will this combi ever change?
Perhaps some yrs later,
colleges which are improving or doing above average,
like AJC, ACJC, NYJC etc.
may displace some of the JCs in the top 5
and replace them....
Will it ever happen??
HCI and RJ never fail to occupy
the 1st and 2nd place....
Just what makes the students and the teachers
so smart and capable??
Are the students and teachers dIfFeReNt
from other JCs??

It's a vicious cycle.
Reputation begets more demand. More demand with limited supply = higher entry points = only 'smarter' students can go in = probably do better in a lvls = more reputation = whole cycle starts again. Throw in Integrated Programme (aka Thru Train) and the whole situation becomes worse.
I do not see it changing. Come on face it, if the SAP schools at primary school level has not changed for decades, what are the bets that it will change at the JC level?

sim wong hoo graduate from polytechnic!I kinda agree with allentyb even though I am from one of the 'top 5' jcs.
At the outside world, your ability to mug and score in exams is no longer relevant.
Although, I must say that the sim wong hoo example is overquoted. Let's not look at specific examples (hey bill gates, although a harvard law dropout, was ranked within the top 0.1% of his batch in USA and harvard law is how machiam difficult to get into) but instead look at a broad spectrum of alumni from the 'top 5' jcs. You will be hard pressed to find a non-politician/lawyer/doctor/general and yet successful example.

That's because people (example you) like to overrate these students and give them more credit than they deserve. They are still humans afterall, just thrash them and make them eat humble pie ok?

sim wong hoo graduate from polytechnic!allen chill.. dont kickstart another meaningless jc vs poly debate again.. I believe there is no need for poly to be included in this topic..
TS, its proly a similar case of the rich gets richer and de poor gets poorer kind of logic.. Meridian is coming up though..

my list would be
1st & 2nd: RJC, HCI
3rd, 4th, 5th: NJC, VJC, TJC, AJCerm what about mjc? i doubt ajc's better? the reason why these schools always occupy the top spots is because the students they accept have really low cut off points!
for hci, 4-6 or 7? same goes for rjc.
people are dying for a chance to get into such schools, so that leaves students with higher scores for l1r5 into other average junior colleges.
anyway there are still schools who are suppose to stay at the 20cut off point. i know yishun jc's one with that. i heard it's due to the fact that the minimum cut off for JC is 20 for l1r5, if a student got 20 he/she can at least go to a jc.
